1. You want, O poor one,
To build markets for your weddings,

2. You are a driven slave,
You are a driven slave,

3. Your possessions rule,
Your possessions rule,

4. Your insight is pleased, do not waver,
Until your breath is sweetened,

5. None will taste from our wine,
Except those whose breath is sweetened,

6. A sultan in our presence,
The cupbearer circulates his cup,

7. Look with your eye of perfection,
At the secret of this presence,

8. And spend your money on it,
And do not divert your gaze,

9. You will enjoy the light of your perfection,
And you will attain good news in it,

10. Look with our gaze,
At the secret of perfection and forget others,

11. A sultan in our presence,
The cupbearer circulates his cup,

12. A sultan this presence,
The cupbearer, and what a good cupbearer,

13. Who gives men to drink with a glance,
From the enduring vintage wine,

14. Oh our joy and good tidings,
With the existence of this cupbearer,

15. Our downpour missed us,
While we are in the shade of his weddings,

16. A sultan in our presence,
The cupbearer circulates his cup,

17. When your full moon rises,
Attribute the praise to your sun,

18. And know the degrees of your worth,
Beware of yourself,

19. Entrust your matter to God,
In your meaning and your sense,

20. Be a threshold of our presence,
Measure each threshold in its measure,

21. A sultan in our presence,
The cupbearer circulates his cup,

22. Make your resolve for God,
Matters will become easy,

23. And adhere to God's piety,
Through it the delivered were delivered,

24. And whoever has piety of God,
He will make for him a way out,

25. It is the most barren of our presence,
And so its people appear,

26. A sultan in our presence,
The cupbearer circulates his cup,

27. Our path is patrolled,
And our conduct is luminous,

28. And our spirits are guided,
And guided by the Lord,

29. And our state is praiseworthy,
And our support is from the Lord,

30. Whoever enters our flock,
Will freely wander in it,

31. A sultan in our presence,
The cupbearer circulates his cup,

32. The servant is his Master's servant,
Even if he strays and transgresses,

33. He still returns to God,
When guided and rightly-guided,

34. He returns to his proper course,
And attains every benefit,

35. And will be of our flock,
When he lights his lamp,

36. A sultan in our presence,
The cupbearer circulates his cup,

37. My master, gentle healer,
Whose followers are secretly wise,

38. Of gentle, refined state,
With perfect taste and scent,

39. And if one is unrefined or lying,
Your guidance has blinded the blind,

40. Deny the light of our drink,
And thank the darkness of their lamps,

41. A sultan in our presence,
The cupbearer circulates his cup.
